    For the sake of this discussion, let's take into consideration both are the current generation from the same manufacturer. The difference being the stereo version compared to the monos. If I look at this from just a purely performance perspective. Monos would win every time. However, if I...

    From YG Carmel 2 to Wilson Sabrina X?

    Hello WBF, I’m very happy YG owner but, as with this hobby, I’m *entertaining the idea of changing speakers. Additionally, to be fair, I haven’t heard a modern Wilson since the Sophia 3 and original Alexia. My experiences weren’t so great. Especially given their cost. Fast forward to the...

    Do current Wilson speakers have "Pistonic" drivers?

    Perhaps a newbie question. But, I see this term used a lot in high end cone speakers. For example, Vandersteen and Magico. However, are Wilson's drivers pistonic? I didn't think so because they are paper cones but, wanted to ask the gurus here. Thanks

    MIT's "New" ? Heritage Line

    Looks like MIT has more SKUs now to confuse the potential customer. http://www.mitcables.com/heritage-series.html It's frustrating how they can't articulate what is "new" in this line. Frankly, It looks like rebadged legacy products. Can MIT experts enlighten me? Thanks
